Banfield vs Estudiantes Betting Tips - Under 2.5 Goals

Banfield returnS to action on Monday after a disappointing 2:1 away defeat at San Lorenzo in their last LPA outing ten days ago. Placed 24th in the 28 team division, Gustavo Munúa´s side have struggled to find much consistent form this season, with only three wins recorded from their last 12 LPA fixtures (W3, D4, L5). 

A lack of firepower remains the biggest issue for the home side. Banfield bagged just 11 goals in those 12 games since a 2:0 win against Newell's Old Boys in June.

Low-scoring outcomes can usually be expected at the Estadio Florencio Solá. Seven of Banfield´s last nine home LPA games saw under 2.5 goals scored. Four of their six most recent fixtures also finished with fewer than three goals and that outcome looks likely to repeat itself again on Monday.

Estudiantes make the trip to Lomas de Zamora having finally ended their wait for a win last weekend with a 1:0 victory against Defensa y Justicia. Los Pincharratas lost four and drew two of six previous LPA contests before their much needed win nine days ago. 

Like the hosts, low-scoring results have been frequent for the visitors. Under 2.5 goals were scored in each of Estudiantes seven most recent fixture.

Adding further veracity to the selection, eight of nine previous meetings between these sides saw fewer than three goals scored, and considering both sides recent results, a similar outcome has to be expected again this week.

I´m banking on under 2.5 goals scored, with a low-scoring draw the likeliest outcome at Estadio Florencio Solá.
